Hello everybody:
    How much  I wanted to send this letter a long time ago, but well, I guess better late than never, he. Finally, after almost a year, I'm sending an update letter. A lot of things have happened during this past months, but I won't mention all of them here, otherwise this letter will look more like a speech. There's something that I do want 
to mention, indeed: my artwork is not free to use anymore, effective immediately. The bad news are that you'll have to delete old tags displaying my artwork; the good news are that the tubes of my artwork will be very affordable. And I have something else to say: April fools!, ok, ok, is not April 1st anymore, in fact, is already the 
16th, but hey, I meant to send this letter on April 1st anyway, so give me a break!, he.

    Ok, if you want to read about updates of my life, just go to http://www.popeyewong.com/eng/updates.htm, you'll find a long text in there, and a couple of photos (including one of me drooling over Taylor Wane). Something that I have to mention in here, is the fact 
that I'm finally back in United States (in Las Vegas area, to be exact). In fact, I've been back for almost a year, but I hadn't announced it officially until now. Just wanted to keep a low profile meanwhile I re-organized my life in here. I want to thank you  all of you that showed your support to my wife and me, it meant a lot to us. 
As many of you know, last year was a very rough one, with a frustrating immigration process of two years (plus, add the fact that I didn't help much). But here we are, and things have been falling into place, finally. Again, to all of you who have supported us, a big big thank you. Among other news, I just went to visit my hometown (the first time since I got my green card). I even visited mygreat-grandmother, who just turned 100 years old, how about that? Way to go, great-grandma!

    Speaking of birthdays, last year was a special one for me. Not only was I back at home and reunited with my wife and family, but I also crossed the big 3-0 line. Yep, I turned 30 years old last November, now I can say that I'm officially a man..., mmmh, that didn't sound right. Thanks to the persons who e-mailed me, it was a pretty special birthday.

    Now, let's go down to what you all like the most: images, right? 
Well, I have very good news then: 10 new images (all toons) are already uploaded in my Eroticartoons gallery. Oh, wait, did I write 10?, I meant to write 100. Yes, I'm not kidding: one hundred new toons, so you can go crazy doing tags. What's even more, tubes for each one of those images, plus tubes of a lot of my older images are 
already available at the website, making that a total of over 200 tubes. To download the tubes, just click on the image itself (or you can also go to tubes.popeyewong.com).
Now there isn't any excuse to avoid practicing your tagging skills (ok, there are excuses, but you have one less excuse now). If you check all the new images, you'll see different styles and tendences. I tried to keep it varied at some point, and wanted to experiment new looks. A lot of them are commissioned work (you may already have seen a few of them), some others are gifts, and the big rest are personal projects. Some of them are very innocent, some are flirty, and some even nude and with some hint of sexual content, so be warned if that's not your cup of tea. I included a couple of b&w pieces, and even tossed in a few male toons, not my specialty, but I know the ladies want to see some of that too. 
Don't forget to visit my update page if you're interested in 
commissioning me. This project of the hundred toons had been in my head for a while, but it took me a long time to finish it, due to many many reasons. As a funny fact, I have to mention that it took me almost a year to gather one hundred images, but I did a over 50 images just last month. Nope, that doesn't mean that I'll be doing 50 images every month, you can trust me when I say that it took a lot of energy from me (I should have given one toon for each year to my great-grandma, she'd have a blast).
    What else is new? I'm offering prints, finally. Yes, you can buy prints of my work. Right now I'm offering only prints of the digital artwork, but I'll be expanding the options pretty soon, so I can include my older pieces. I'm selling prints in two sizes (8.5"x11" and 11"x17"), but just visit http://www.popeyewong.com/eng/prints.htm to 
read more about it. You'll see a button to buy a print, next to the image, that, of course, if it is available.
Speaking of images, there is another important notice: the change of the copyright on the line of images known as "Kattitudes". The images that Kat and I created as a collaboration a while ago are now under my property, and also uploaded in my website, therefore, they are under 
the same terms of use as any of my other images. I've received many letters asking me about this matter, which let me see that there's a lot of confusion. The main thing I want to point out is that NOBODY needs to delete any tags. The copyright note changed, is not Kattitude 
anymore, but I don't want anybody deleting tags because of this (I never do). I give my permission to keep using the old tags with the old copyright note. Same as happened with the old tags with Jaimi Standifird copyright note (Jaimi and I keep working together and we haven't had any problems with the copyrights at all). I understand 
that this is confusing, so feel free to ask me any question related to the change on the copyright notes of the images known as Kattitudes (at [email protected]).
Staying on the topic of the lines, I want to mention that I created a mini-line of five images as a gift for my friend Jo (Fragile), and is included in the new images. I've been retired of making lines for a while, but I promised one for her a long time ago. Now I'm happy that her wait is over, and she's quick to share her happiness too (same as 
any other image in my website, the "Fragile" line is free to use by anybody). Click on "A fragile lesson" 
(http://www.popeyewong.com/eng/toons/alesson.htm) to start the trip through the new hundred images.
    As a celebration for the introduction of the hundred images (a very dear project to me), I have a special offer for taggers that want to buy prints: buy one small print (8.5"x11") at a regular price and get unlimited autographed small prints at $7.00 each, shipping 
included to any country (all small prints must be placed at the same transaction). Or buy one large print (11"x17") and get unlimited autographed large prints at $11.00 each, shipping also included to any country (again, all large prints must be placed at the same transaction, in order to get this offer). Note: if you're interested in this offer, contact me at [email protected], with your choice of prints, since you won't be able to place your order from the website. By the way, this offer doesn't have an expiration date.

    The managers of groups also get an additional offer: get a free small print for every 5 persons you refer to me (or a free large print for every ten persons, your choice). The referrals don't need to be done at the same time, so feel free to refer even one person, that I'll keep track of it. Since this offer is not available through the website, remind your member to purchase the print through e-mail  ([email protected]), and also to mention your 
name/nickname/group in their e-mail. These offers will run indefinitely too, so there won't be any pressure at all.
    I want to mention that the sale of prints is a great help to me, mainly economically, but I don't want anybody to feel like they shouldn't use my images because they can't afford or don't want to buy prints. I'm always happy and proud to see my artwork being used in your creations. This is my gift to the taggers, no matter who they 
are, so please enjoy it.
    Stepping a bit outside the theme of prints, I have a little secret to share: my wife is around, member of a couple of groups. I know that she'll kill me for this, but why not to announce it? Have you ever seen "Sweets4u08"? Well, that's my lovely wife. I mention this because, if you want to send me a tag, it would be great if you can place her name on it ("Sweets" or Anita Maria). Be it for my wife or 
not, just go crazy doing tags, that's the best gift you could give me. 
And if you feel inspired, don't forget to visit the re-opened  "Tag showcase" (http://www.popeyewong.com/eng/exhibition.htm), now going monthly.
I want to thank each one of you that have supported my career in any way, I really appreciate it. I'll try to follow your advice and browse through places like www.myspace.com and www.deviantart.com (I've had 
accounts in there for a long time, but I need to start using them). I don't see a forum or group dedicated to my artwork in my plans, but thanks for suggesting it. Please accept my sincere apologies for taking so long to update this. My website is not totally fixed yet, but a lot of the broken links are gone. And also, please forgive me if 
I haven't responded to your mail, I'm really really sorry. I will respond eventually, that's for sure (I'll be going through my mailbox in the next few weeks).
    Well, time to go. Thanks for reading all this, and I just want to ask one more favor: please post this letter in your groups (if you're not sure if you can do it in your group, just ask a manager). Feel free to edit out parts of this letter that don't apply to your group, this letter is extremely long. Do as you like, but again, please post 
this letter or parts of this letter in as many places as you can, to spread the word. Any person can join my list, just send a mail to [email protected] with "update" included in the subject. Thank you very much for your attention... what are you still doing here? go tag! Until next time (this time will be less than a year, he). Bye for now!

      Popeye Wong.

Yeppers, I even updated the downloads links to include Popeye's direct access tube link. (VERY nice tubes, not grainy like that other person who tubed his works.)
